Some are curious, some are rather obvious - all are interesting. I'm talking about the origin of every team in Major League Baseball.

I'm not sure what to say about this other than it's about the most impressive damn thing I've seen on a golf course since Bubba Watson's snap-hook out of the woods that landed on the green of the second playoff hole at Augusta in 2012.

I don't know why I play the prediction game - I never seem to come close to being accurate. Nonetheless, as first pitch nears for the Milwaukee Brewers, I have put the finishing touches on how I believe the 2013 MLB season will shake out. The bold print indicates teams I believe will make the playoffs.

According to Forbes Magazine, the average value of an MLB franchise is $744 million - up 23% from a year ago. The Milwaukee Brewers rank 22 among MLB franchises with a valuation of $562 million. Back in 2005, Mark Attanasio and his ownership group paid $223 million for the team - not a bad return on investment for Attanasio and friends.

One of the reasons I really love minor league sports is due to the liberties front office staff often takes in regards to the fan experience. We've all heard of wacky promotions like "jock strap day" - heck, even the Milwaukee Admirals held a tribute to Uranus night complete with a "thumbs up Uranus" contest involving trivia questions pertaining to the gaseous planet.

Ok - so veteran pitcher Kyle Lohse is not Albert Pujols, but he is a guy who racked up 30 wins over his last two seasons as a member of the Cardinals. While the emotional connection fans have toward Lohse may not be equal to that of Pujols, there is no denying what Lohse meant the past couple of seasons on a playoff team.

The NCAA tournament didn't exactly get off to a rockin' start, but by mid-afternoon, things got interesting with St. Mary's near buzzer-beater over Memphis, and Marquette's improbable comeback win over Davidson. We saw a pair of 12 seeds (Oregon and California) advance - along with 14-seeded Harvard. The Crimson's win over New Mexico (3) was the biggest upset of the day.

One of the many things I love about the NCAA tournament is the chance to watch players come into their own when the bright lights are on. Every year a player or two, or three, rise to the occasion and carry their team further than expected.
